The aim of the conference is to facilitate interaction between the research and
industrial community and discuss the latest developments in this rapidly advancing
field. The meeting responds to the demand for high quality production for both
industry and consumer, which has led to rapid developments in materials science
and engineering. This requires the characterisation of the properties of the
materials.
Of particular interest to industry and society is Combinations of different experimental
